More information on mRNA vaccine safety. In a large Israeli study recently submitted to the NEJM, they show that other than a small risk of myocarditis (which is 4x higher in people infected with COVID), the safety profile is quite strong, and even seems to have benefits beyond just COVID risk reduction. Importantly, they found that the majority of the adverse events under study (eg the unverified events submitted to VAERS which disingenuous anti-vaxxers had been relying on for months to try to pretend like the vaccines were unsafe), were not linked to the Pfizer vaccine.

A deep look into a nationwide mass vaccination setting in Israel revealed that the BNT162b2 (PfizerBioNTech) vaccine is not linked with an elevated risk of a majority of the adverse events under study, with the exception of myocarditis. However, even that potentially severe adverse event is much more pervasive following the infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), found a new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).

...
In short, the study has shown that vaccination was strongly associated with an increased risk of myocarditis (2.7 events per 100,000 persons), as well as lymphadenopathy (which occurred relatively frequent with 78.5 events per 100,000 persons), herpes zoster infection (which can translate to an increased risk of Bell's palsy) and appendicitis.

On the other hand, SARS-CoV-2 infection was linked to a substantially elevated risk of myocarditis (11 events per 100,000 persons), alongside the risk of pericarditis, arrhythmia, pulmonary embolism, deep-vein thrombosis, myocardial infarction, thrombocytopenia, and intracranial hemorrhage.

The study has also shown that the risk of myocarditis is basically increased by a factor of three following vaccination. Furthermore, among the 21 persons with myocarditis in the group that received the vaccine, the median age was 25 years and there was a substantial male predominance.

Certain unexpected effects were also observed, as PfizerBioNTech vaccine appears to offers a degree of protection against conditions such as intracranial hemorrhage and anemia, possibly by halting SARS-CoV-2 infection, which is a known risk factor for such events.

Lipstick on a Pig:
Intro/Conclusion: "the BNT162b2 (PfizerBioNTech) vaccine is not linked with an elevated risk of a majority of the adverse events under study, with the exception of myocarditis."

Support: "In short, the study has shown that vaccination was strongly associated with an increased risk of myocarditis (2.7 events per 100,000 persons), as well as lymphadenopathy (which occurred relatively frequent with 78.5 events per 100,000 persons), herpes zoster infection (which can translate to an increased risk of Bell's palsy) and appendicitis..." and being infected with Covid 19 is worse.

My conclusion: the vaccines have poor safety profiles but Covid is much more dangerous and there is a good chance you will eventually get it. So, get vaccinated. We are still testing in under 16, but we have transitioned dissenters out of the FDA so it should be approved soon. There are no other options but mRNA and the JnJ DNA vaccine which enters the nucleus, but the CDC tweets that it doesn't. Therefore, it is Covid or these new vaccine techs. Be vaccinated with them or risk Covid, which is worse.

... Edited to add that the risk of myocarditis in young teenagers is around 1/5,000. This is only acceptable in the absence of other alternatives and the purpose is to prevent the youths from getting ill (vs spreading infection). These vaccines will not prevent infection due to variants and waning humoral immunity.

I think it would be helpful if you were honest about myocarditis. It's a scary sounding heart problem that resolves perfectly within a week or two in the vast majority of cases. It only very rarely results in anything serious. There is no indication that myocarditis cases are more severe when connected to mRNA vaccines. If the risk of fatal myocarditis or even long-term disability from myocarditis was 1/5,000 that would be a completely different thing but it's not.

Also, there's no way to study this, but there is also no reason to believe that a person who suffers from myocarditis from the vaccine wouldn't have also had myocarditis (or worse) from COVID itself. Given the high risk of myocarditis from COVID, I think that's a reasonable concern. Bottom line, if you are concerned with myocarditis, you are less likely to get it from the vaccine than from COVID and if you don't get the vaccine you are far more likely to get COVID.

---

I wish you would be honest or at least have better reading comprehension. Nobody ever said that the 1/5000 figure was for fatal myocarditis. If that were true, people would be dropping dead left and right. It is for people who had symptoms, went to the doctor or hospital, and were diagnosed with myocarditis, which is serious. The study indicates that most people with vaccine caused myocarditis are not hospitalized for more than three days.

Also, "Bottom line, if you are concerned with myocarditis, you are less likely to get it from the vaccine than from COVID." Your statement might not be true for teenagers and younger. The spike protein appears to be what is causing myocarditis. Successfully fighting off exposure to the virus is safer than being injected with the Spike Protein.

Finally,THE VACCINE is safer than covid 19. Yes, that is certainly true. Howeverm the only reason we have THE VACCINE is because other vaccine development was delayed and then scuttled once mrna was found effective.

---

What is your estimate for how many young people are dying of myocarditis caused by the vaccine?

Why do you believe that young people are less likely to get myocarditis from COVID than the vaccine?

Myocarditis is serious and scary but it's typically treatable and typically fully resolves within days or weeks. Thousands of Americans get it every year, and unfortunately it can be fatal for some people, particularly if unnoticed or untreated. The best way to reduce your child's risk of myocarditis is to protect them from COVID.

---

Probably a handful of young people in the USA have died from vaccine caused myocarditis. Young people may naturally fight off covid 19 without getting severe illness. Obviously, the risk of severe illness (including myocarditis) with covid 19 is greater than such risks with mRNA vaccines. Yes, the best way of protecting your child from myocarditis is protecting them from covid. However, that does not mean the best way of protecting your child from myocarditis is a myocarditis causing vaccine.

---

Obviously most young people will fight off COVID without getting severe illness. No one has ever said otherwise.

Most young people have no reason to fear myocarditis on connection with mRNA vaccines either. It's extremely rare, far more rare than negative outcomes from COVID. According to the study referenced here, males aged 12 to 17 are almost 7x as likely to suffer from myocarditis from COVID than the vaccine. Obviously the two groups are mutually exclusive, but I don't see any reason to believe that there is a lot of overlap between the two groups.

---

6x likely to get myocarditis IF INFECTED WITH COVID 19 then to get it from mRNA vaccination FOLLOWING DOSE 2. Not at all the same as your misleading interpretation of the study.

Not true. Studies have myocarditis in young teens at around 1/5000. If you vaccinate all, then you should have around 1/5000. Young teens are not currently having myocarditis at a rate of 1/5000 in the unvaccinated population and unlikely (but not impossible) to occur in the future.

Imagine being so misled as to call people who take vaccines sheep but poisoning yourself with livestock medicine that literally is for sheep? Like, has a sheep on the bottle? Actually, you don't have to imagine it at all - people like Zippergate and Minot advocate for this poison. And poison control is being overrun with idiots ODing on sheep meds - calls are up over 550% in Texas.



baa baa baaaaa

Just to clarify, have I, Zippergate, or Minot actually advocated for people to take Ivermectin for sheep? Seems like a misleading accusation.

Cool, so what exactly is your complaint? You pretend to be some rational mRNA skeptic but you leave no stone unturned in criticizing vaccine suppliers. Now you want us to dig into supplier contracts?

This is such a petty crusade of yours at this point.

---

Why is it a petty crusade? As I have stated many times in this thread, BP is dictating public policy. This contract is an example of it. The lower prices are offset by language incredibly favorable to the supplier. This contract is designed to lock poorer countries in with no reasonable ability to breach, and to lock out competition. Desperate countries were put in a position months ago to wait for their Pfizer vaccine and to make sure, when they finally get it, that their people will want it because the doses have been bought and paid for with no hope for a refund. Feel free to go back and read my posts because you clearly couldn't tie this to what I have been saying this entire time.

---

This sounds like . . . capitalism.

---

Yes, it does. Bought and paid for advantages stifling competition leading to one-sided contracts and incredible profits. Hiring Dr. Gottlieb from his role as FDA Commissioner onto the Pfizer Board was a beautiful move.

---

I think your problem is more with the fact that Pfizer and other companies want to make profits on their products (capitalism) and not so much that anything untoward is actually happening with these vaccines. I'm not sure we can wait for a full reworking of our global economic system before we can start to effectively fight COVID-19.

---

You are being too charitable . He will take any criticism of the vaccines and spread it here. He has exactly 1 goal in mind and it is to discredit the vaccines by any means necessary.

Let's not pretend like he cares what terms France agreed to.

---

This is simply not true. For example, I have never agree with any of the bogus sentiment that the vaccines are a government conspiracy to microchip people. I stick to facts and data.

Did it change the hearts and minds of any of the anti-vax/anti-science crowd? I see the same folks posting the same stuff over and over in this thread. No one seems to have changed their position.

There's a much more informative thread on the Insider board, btw.

---

Highlighting how mRNA vaccines have 30x higher death rate per vaccination than flu vaccines (or any other vaccine that is licensed for use) is not anti-vax.

---

Where is your evidence for this claim? You've made a number of unsupported claims for months now. You can pretend that your continuous crying wolf isn't anti-vax but the pattern is indistinguishable. You apply a heavy dose of skepticism to any pro mRNA data or discussion and absolutely no such concern with respect to any negative reports, anecdotes or rumors.

So tell us, where is there proof that mRNA vaccines have killed 30x the flu? How many Americans have mRNA vaccines killed?

---

It is from VAERS, the national vaccine safety monitoring system. I have said this before.

---

Which has already been demonstrated as an unreliable metric.

---

Just proof of how disingenuous oski is being. VAERS does not report vaccine caused deaths and he knows it. He may pretend not to be an anti-vaxxer but continues to propagate known disinformation in the hopes that people won't call him out for it.

He wants people to think mRNA causes 30x the deaths of the flu vaccine but in reality he uses a source that isn't intended to be used to conclude that even one person died from the vaccine.

As far as I can tell, oski hasn't provided evidence of a single death from mRNA.

---

Btw, I still think mRNA covid vaccines cause 30x the death rate of licensed flu vaccines.

So you don't think it's possible that more "traditional" vaccines just aren't as effective against a virus like COVID-19?

---

I don't believe that neutralizing antibodies are the best plan of attack against a coronavirus. I don't want to get an annual mRNA shot as antibodies wane and the vaccines develop resistance every six months or so. If mRNA was safer, I would be more willing.

T cells are more universal. Inovio had a MERS Coronavirus vaccine that was advanced into phase 2 in Asia (and now middle east where MERS still is prevalent) but was shunned by Fauci due to his belief that neutralizing antibodies will solve covid. Inovio's B & T Cell data was excellent but the FDA put a hold on their phase 3 and then the DOD pulled their funding due to the impossibilities of conducting a phase 3 trial with the existence of the EUA vaccines (after heavy FDA delays). Inovio was the second vaccine to start a phase 1 but was left high and dry by Slaoui's OWS. South Korea is advancing a version of Inovio's vaccine made by Geneone. South Korea is also ordering mRNA vaccines. China is also supporting Inovio's vaccine. FDA has put Inovio on clinical hold for a year due to concerns about their ability to scale their vaccine delivery device. FDA approved Moderna's and JnJ's covid vaccine production facilities without ever seeing them.

---

I am an expert in this area with no conflicts of interest.

mRNA vaccines stimulate both B cell and T cell responses because they cause cells in our body to produce the SARS-CoV2 spike protein. B cells then produce neutralizing antibodies active against the spike protein, protecting us from infection by the virus. In contrast to what is sometimes reported in the news, B cell immunity doesn't necessarily ever wane. What happens is that amount of antibodies circulating in the blood stream declines over time because they live about 180 days on average in the blood. But fear not! Memory B cells stand by post-vaccine or post-infection, primed to mount a rapid and robust antibody response even after the original antibody "titer" in the blood stream drops, so that protective neutralizing antibody production ramps up quickly and protection is in fact still in place. More great news about mRNA vaccines is that the spike protein encoded by these vaccines also elicits a robust T cell response, which is extremely good news because even if the virus mutates to a form that the neutralizing antibodies don't recognize as well, it is much harder for a mutant virus to evade the robust T cell response stimulated by the mRNA vaccine. However, should a variant emerge that evades immunity, mRNA vaccines are by far the best bet to keep us safe because they can be modified for booster shots against the variant much faster than any other type of vaccine.

---

I pretty much agree with what is here although DNA seems like a safer alternative for booster shots. While many peer reviewed articles later touted the importance of B & T, the media, administration, Fauci, Pfizer and Moderna boasted about mRNA antibodies from within 30 days of vaccination. Do you think mRNA vaccines are the best boosters? Do you think there are safer alternatives for children? Does Novavax stimulat b and t cell response? Btw, the studies indicated pfizer was superior to Moderna in b and t cell response. Do you agree?

---

I'm not sure that I understand your comment. In general, it would be in my opinion a rather bad idea to introduce DNA into a person because, unlike mRNA, it can recombine into the DNA of the person, causing mutations in the person's DNA. Mutations are not good for us and can among other things cause cancer. Perhaps you are referring to the adenovirus vector used in the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine. Adenoviruses are DNA viruses. In this class of vaccines the viral DNA is introduced into a person's body when they are vaccinated and directs the person's cells to make mRNAs, which then make the spike protein. In effect, it is adding one more "upstream" step to the mRNA vaccines because the DNA has to direct the body to synthesize the mRNA which then directs the body to make the spike protein. The people who have developed the adenovirus vaccines assert that they are safe and don't integrate into our DNA, but I personally am much more comfortable getting an mRNA vaccine than an Adenovirus DNA vaccine. I hope that helps.

---

I was referring to DNA vaccines that do not enter cells through adenoviruses. Specifically, vaccines by Inovio, Zydus Cadilla, and Geneone. There has been no evidence of genome integration with DNA vaccines. Genome integration is something pushed by mRNA advocates as DNA is a competing tech because it has the same rapid response capabilities as mrna and is easier to manufacture. Pure DNA does not have the side effects of the adenovirus vaccines, and I believe it is because they are not injected with 5 billion adenovirus particles (monkey virus for AZN, human cold virus for JnJ). JnJ is a large dose.

Given your answer, is it safe to say that you fear the potential but never seen future side of DNA vaccines (genome integration) more than the currently seen and unseen side effects of mRNA vaccines? Given that the P1 and P2 trial data of these DNA vaccines have much better (by leaps and bounds) safety data than mRNA vaccines, do you attribute that to smaller sample size or other factors?

---

DNA vaccines have not proved effective in humans, possibly because DNA not only has to get into cells like mRNAs, but also into the cell's nucleus. I've not seen any credible evidence that there are safety issues with mRNA vaccines and, unlike DNA vaccines, they've been used on millions of people. The extraordinarily rare hyper immune response to mRNA vaccines is quite possibly something those rare individuals would have had to other forms of vaccines. At this point, one thing we can feel confident about is the extremely good safety profile of mRNA vaccines.

---

You obviously don't feel the need to directly answer my questions, so we will have to agree to disagree on most things. I acknowledge that non-adenovirus based DNA vaccines have not been tested in millions but they don't have the grade 2 and 3 severe events that mRNA vaccines had in trials. I cannot subscribe to DNA vaccines being ineffective, given JnJ recipients currently have vax cards. I understand you conclusion on safety as it is the prevailing opinion of the medical community, albeit said rather strongly. I don't see that changing with no alternative, safe effective vaccines.

It's the group that you are supporting and encouraging.

Like many disingenuous political leaders in the death cult, you are fully vaccinated but encouraging other people to forego vaccination. Thousands of people per week are dying in the US of COVID right now, virtually all of whom are unvaccinated. Those are the lemmings, not the people, like you, who avail themselves of safe and effective vaccines while convincing everyone else of how dangerous they are and propagating conspiracy theories.

Tomi Lahren is vaccinated.
Tucker Carlson is vaccinated.

CDC just posted information on myocarditis (and related conditions) and the good news is that, based on their review, the risks are quite low.

I won't cut and paste everything but do please read the link if you are interested in this and have questions about the data.

For the TL;DR, the CDC found 323 reported cases out of approximately 30 million eligible vaccine recipients (persons aged 12-29). Of those 323, almost all were hospitalized but the clinical courses were considered mild, 95% have been discharged and not a single person died. This is consistent with the reporting I've seen the last few months which says that young people typically fully recover from myocarditis.

Here's the raw disclosure (emphasis mine) regarding the review of the reports of myocarditis:

Quote:

---

As of June 11, 2021, approximately 296 million doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines had been administered in the United States, with 52 million administered to persons aged 1229 years; of these, 30 million were first and 22 million were second doses.

Within the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) (4), the national vaccine safety passive monitoring system, 1,226 reports of myocarditis after mRNA vaccination were received during December 29, 2020June 11, 2021. Among persons with reported myocarditis after mRNA vaccination, the median age was 26 years (range = 1294 years), with median symptom onset interval of 3 days after vaccination (range = 0179). Among 1,194 reports for which patient age was known, 687 were among persons aged <30 years and 507 were among persons aged 30 years; of 1,212 with sex reported, 923 were male, and 289 were female. Among 1,094 patients with number of vaccine doses received reported, 76% occurred after receipt of dose 2 of mRNA vaccine; cases were reported after both Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines. Informed by early reports, CDC prioritized rapid review of myocarditis in persons aged <30 years reported during May 1June 11, 2021; the 484 patient records in this subset were evaluated by physicians at CDC, and several reports were also reviewed with Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment Project investigators, including cardiologists. At the time of this report, 323 of these 484 cases were determined to meet criteria in CDC's case definitions for myocarditis, pericarditis, or myopericarditis by provider interview or medical record review (Table 1). The median age of the 323 patients meeting CDC's case definitions was 19 years (range = 1229 years); 291 were male, and 32 were female. The median interval from vaccination to symptom onset was 2 days (range = 040 days); 92% of patients experienced onset of symptoms within 7 days of vaccination. Of the 323 persons meeting CDC's case definitions, 309 (96%) were hospitalized. Acute clinical courses were generally mild; among 304 hospitalized patients with known clinical outcomes, 95% had been discharged at time of review, and none had died. Treatment data in VAERS are preliminary and incomplete; however, many patients have experienced resolution of symptoms with conservative treatment, such as receipt of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. Follow-up is ongoing to identify and understand longer-term outcomes after myocarditis occurring after COVID-19 vaccination.

---

CDC analysis of relative benefit of vaccine risk relative to COVID:

Quote:

---

The benefits (prevention of COVID-19 disease and associated hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and deaths) outweighed the risks (expected myocarditis cases after vaccination) in all populations for which vaccination has been recommended. However, the balance of benefits and risks varied by age and sex because cases of myocarditis were primarily identified among males aged <30 years, and the risks of poor outcomes related to COVID-19 increase with age. Per million second doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine administered to males aged 1229 years, 11,000 COVID-19 cases, 560 hospitalizations, 138 ICU admissions, and six deaths due to COVID-19 could be prevented, compared with 3947 expected myocarditis cases after COVID-19 vaccination (Table 2). Among males aged 30 years, 15,300 COVID-19 cases, 4,598 hospitalizations, 1,242 ICU admissions, and 700 deaths could be prevented, compared with three to four expected myocarditis cases after COVID-19 vaccination. This analysis did not include the potential benefit of preventing post-COVID-19 conditions, such as prolonged symptoms and MIS-C (6,7).

Btw, I still believe the spike protein is cytotoxic. I also believe it is still currently the best to use for a vaccine due to it being immunogenic. Of course, you are so sure it is not cytotoxic.

I have no idea why you keep talking about ivermectin. If there are studies showing it to be effective in the treatment of COVID, that would be a nice addition to the existing therapeutics.

If you are suggesting that people should avoid vaccination and rely on an untested therapeutic, then I hope no one listens to you because that is dangerous advice. If you want to go get COVID and treat it with ivermectin, knock yourself out. Oxford is studying it right now and I assume that we will know within a few months whether it's a safe and effective therapeutic, like dexamethasone, or whether it's snake oil, like HCQ. The fact that you are willing to recommend an untested, unproven off-label use indicates that you think COVID-19 is something to be reckoned with, so I appreciate that aspect.

---

I agree with this post. You went off the rails on ivermectin later.

Someone is triggered but hasn't posted any misinformation and lies attributable to me.

He has posted information with appropriate cautionary language and sourcing and has shown an inability to understand how honest and cautious communication works. He frequently assumes certain facts which are still in dispute.

There is still a lot of developing information and data. If you want to say I'm guilty of not editorializing enough and predicting how things will develop, umm sure, I will gladly accept that criticism and wouldn't change a thing.

"The ERs are so backed up that gunshot victims were having hard times getting to facilities where they can get definitive care and be treated," McElyea said.

LOL. That story was a fabrication and you bought it lock, stock, and barrel.

It isn't merely that @Maddow refuses to remove the fabricated story she made go viral. Her disinformation could be quite dangerous: someone needing urgent care could have read her false claim that ERs in their area were overrun with ivermectin patients and unable to see patients: https://t.co/RJ4hNGsJ0Q

As noted in the earlier post linked above, there is very serious lack of trust in our media. Also, over time, with our government: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2021/05/17/public-trust-in-government-1958-2021/

Yet, it's our government officials, the media, telling us what to do, what's in our best interest, supposedly. With such a credibility problem, and seemingly no desire to address it, many will unfortunately not know who or what to believe.

That's not particularly relevant to what's happening now. The idiots eating horse paste believe you need much higher doses and can't get prescriptions.

Look at Oklahoma - ERs are filling up with IVM overdoses.

New study says boosters aren't needed for the general public yet. This puts 003 in a difficult position of having to both blame Biden and big pharma for recommending boosters prematurely to goose profits and blame the mRNA vaccines for being ineffective without a booster. He's been playing both sides for a while so will be interesting to see which anti-vax path takes prominence.

I am not anti vax, I am anti mRNA covid vax with the caveat that people should get it because it is effective and the only thing available against a deadly disease.

The two HEAD FDA scientists were pushed out because they advocate most of the US population not get boosters because pfizer and Moderna are still 90% effective against severe disease for the non vulnerable population. They have more of a global view that the world needs the mRNA vaccines more than healthy Americans need boosters.

However, for the same reason that mRNA was pushed ahead despite its side effects, the US desires covid vaccines to prevent infection because they are still trying to eradicate covid in the united states at least to the extent that even the smaller threat of severe disease is eliminated further. These vaccines given every 5 months can reduce infections significantly. At what cost? Pfizer and Moderna/NIH see dollar signs because they can charge double in the USA what they charge in the third world. Pfizers 4 million spent lobbying in q1 will pay off. Plus, they don't have to pay for more cold chain.

I have always advocated for the US to allow non cold chain safer vaccines that also prevent severe disease. However, the mRNA vaccines worked and prevented development of other vaccines, with the exception of global giant JnJ.

This is 100% consistent with what is happening and your conclusions are entirely misguided based on your preconceived beliefs and angelical need to promote these vaccines.

"Although the benefits of primary COVID-19 vaccination clearly outweigh the risks, there could be risks if boosters are widely introduced too soon, or too frequently, especially with vaccines that can have immune-mediated side-effects (such as myocarditis, which is more common after the second dose of some mRNA vaccines,3 or Guillain-Barre syndrome, which has been associated with adenovirus-vectored COVID-19 vaccines4). If unnecessary boosting causes significant adverse reactions, there could be implications for vaccine acceptance that go beyond COVID-19 vaccines. Thus, widespread boosting should be undertaken only if there is clear evidence that it is appropriate."
"Current evidence does not, therefore, appear to show a need for boosting in the general population, in which efficacy against severe disease remains high. Even if humoral immunity appears to wane, reductions in neutralising antibody titre do not necessarily predict reductions in vaccine efficacy over time, and reductions in vaccine efficacy against mild disease do not necessarily predict reductions in the (typically higher) efficacy against severe disease."
"Although vaccines are less effective against asymptomatic disease or against transmission than against severe disease, even in populations with fairly high vaccination rates the unvaccinated are still the major drivers of transmission and are themselves at the highest risk of serious disease.16"
"The effectiveness of boosting against the main variants now circulating and against even newer variants could be greater and longer lived if the booster vaccine antigen is devised to match the main circulating variants.6 There is an opportunity now to study variant-based boosters before there is widespread need for them. A similar strategy is used for influenza vaccines, for which each annual vaccine is based on the most current data about circulating strains, increasing the likelihood that the vaccine will remain effective even if there is further strain evolution."

If true, it's good that they retired as that is not their call to make; perhaps they can get a job with WHO which fits their philosophies better.

There's also some reasonable disagreement that vaccine supply is actually finite in the way they describe. Some would say it can easily stretch to meet demand, and the issue is more about who pays for it. Wealthy countries could buy boosters for themselves AND subsidize doses for poorer countries; it's not necessarily either/or.

Logistics are also an issue in poorer nations. Sending vaccines is one thing, administrating them something else.

Absolutely, not to mention the 500 mill doses that the US has already pledged and at the millions that WHO has not yet figured out how to dispense. But I ignored those issues bcos two top FDA officials had to be aware of them and prefer the globalism. And scientifically, they are not wrong: the faster the world gets vaxed, the fewer chances for variants to develop. So it is definitely in the best interests of the Developed nations to help the developing nations. But as you note, we can do both. Protect the vulnerable in the US (60+?, immunocompromised) and 'donate' (i.e, paid by US taxpayers) vaccines to WHO.

Also, the head FDA scientists who resigned under protest also are frustrated by the lack of actual scientific trials for boosters. I think only 300 people total have been in a Pfizer booster trial, and they didn't establish a comparative control group. Of those 300, one had a heart attack two weeks post vax (Pfizer said unrelated) and 15 had enlarged lymph nodes. While the boosters may be relatively safe, the scientists protested a lack of evidence that they actually were, along with lack of a proven need.

FYI, this is a foreign publication. No national outlet in the US will report this stuff:

Why would the Pfizer vaccine be any more or less dangerous as a booster than it is as an initial vaccination?
